I have a Nikon 18-55 and need to replace the bayonet. Is there a metal bayonet from another Nikon lens that will work?

any idea why this part at 5:26 with two orange stripes wont move? it seems to be literally glued to the rim event after i removed all the screws, it moves a little on its left side and not at all on the right

[@ajithajju4422]

Do anyone have link to purchase this item plz share it its emergency

[@jefscolnago]

The plastic is so thin so that IT will break before the lens or the camera will. Think of it in the same way cars have "crumple zones."

[@grahamduckworth3910]

Just finished my repair after waiting for two and a half months for the part to arrive in the UK via Nikkon Uk from Japan. £4.20 for the part and a 10 minute fix and it works perfectly again. Thank you for the video it made the job very simple.

I recommend genuine mounts from Nikon, because the copies from China (ebay) aren't accurate to size and are made of cheap, floppy plastic.

[@dorfschmidt4833]

Nikon service sold me a mount.

[@dorfschmidt4833]

In Germany you can get parts, which are accessible from outside. Paid like 12 € incl. VAT. Some sellers on ebay claim to sell genuine Nikon mounts.

[@dorfschmidt4833]

Sorry, I don't know. You can get mounts on ebay, one keyword is genuine.

[@mikeno62]

I found the lens on a flee market for 40 Danish kr., the focus didn't work but the bajonet was fine and original Nikon.

[@nickchan3873]

Hi Kenneth, I accidentally broke the tiny contact cable from the mounting piece during the process of reassembly. Can you please advise how I can re-attach the tiny cable?

[@rafamericano]

Same thing happened to me. Were you able to find a solution?

[@msotil]

Years ago there used to be a lot published on this type or repair and what happened to you happened to lots of people. What came unstuck is a ground wire. Whether the wire is connected or not, will make no difference to the operation of the lens. Just hide the wire.

[@jujda7]

@@msotil is it unsafe without the wire?

[@msotil]

@@jujda7 No. I have not read about or experienced any difference with the wire connected or not. That wire becomes unstuck very easy. The slightest tug will cause it to disconnect. It looks like it would be a thankless task to try to reconnect it.

[@adeebmd5701]

is it possible to buy the bayonet made of metal ?

[@mikeno62]

If the lens was made with a plastic bayonet, I'm not sure if you can get one made of metal, maybe you can modyfie a metal bayonet and make new holes so they can fit in the lens. And if it's not possible, then you have to buy a new plastic bayonet.

[@FixYourCameraOrg]

These mounts used to cost $1 in the US, directly from Nikon USA. We used to buy them in 100's. It's a 5 min repair with cleaning included. Now the situation is a bit more difficult unfortunately - chinese mounts from ebay are so crappy it's hard to believe (cause focusing problems due to different thickness). There are some reasonably good ones, but it's always a lottery. Your customers love you NIKON! I can hear their opinions every day... It's a nasty type of love though...:) Nice and helpful video Mike!

[@mikeno62]

Thank's, Yes, there are plastic and there really bad (cheeeeap) plastic...

[@brucefelix5992]

FixYourCameraORG I am seeking a mount for Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 AF G Aspherical Lens. Do you know of a source for that lens, It has the same issue.

[@ajithajju4422]

Can u share the link bro

[@dzenanaselimovic9394]

What if I broke the wire attached to camera mount?

[@rafamericano]

Same thing happened to me. Were you able to find a solution?

[@msotil]

The little ground wire came unstuck. Whether the wire is connected or not will not make any difference in the operation of the lens. Just hide the wire and forget about it.
